introduction:
Industrial training is an important part of our curriculum and I am fortunate
enough to have this training at Electrical Sub-Division (PWD), Kulgam. During this
training I visited workshop at Kulgam this unit is mainly engaged in repairing and
maintenance of distribution transformer.
POWER TRANSFORMER
The transformers used in sub-stations and generating stations are called power
transformers.
They have ratings above 200kVA. Usually a substation will have number of
transformers working in parallel.
During heavy load periods all the transformers are put in operation and during
light load periods some transformers are disconnected.
Therefore the power transformers should be designed to have maximum
efficiency at or near full load.
Power transformers are designed to have considerably greater leakage
reactance that is permissible in distribution transformers in order to limit the
fault current.
In the case of power transformers inherent voltage regulation is less important
than the current limiting effect of higher leakage reactance.
OUTPUT EQUATION OF SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER page no. 7
The equation which relates the rated kVA output of a transformer to the area
of core and window is called output equation.
In transformers the output kVA depends on flux density and ampere-turns.
The flux density is related to core area and the ampere-turns is related to
window area.
The simplified cross-section of core type and shell type single phase
transformers are shown in figures (4-1) and (4-2).
The low voltage winding is placed nearer to the core in order to reduce the
insulation requirement.
The space inside the core is called window and it is the space available for
accommodating the primary and secondary winding.
The window area is shared between the winding and their insulations.
The induced emf in a transformer, page no. 8
Emf per turn,
The window in single phase transformer contains one primary and one
secondary winding.
The window space factor Kw is the ratio of conductor area in window to total
area of window.
Conductor area in window,
The current density is same in both the windings. Therefore Current density,
Area of cross - section of primary conductor,
Area of cross - section of secondary conductor,
If we neglect magnetizing mmf then primary ampere turns is equal to
secondary ampere turns. Therefore ampere turns,
Total copper area in window,
Ac = Copper area of primary winding + Copper area of secondary winding
= (Number of primary turns x area of cross-section of primary
conductor) + (Number of secondary turns x area of cross - section of
secondary conductor)

On equating we get,
From the above equation we can say that the emf per turn is directly
proportional to K.
The value of K depends on the type, service condition and method of
construction of transformer.
The value of K for different types of transformers is listed in table below.
Transformer type K
Single phase shell type 1 0 to 1 2
Single phase core type 0.75toO.85
Three phase shell type 1.3
Three phase core type, 0.45

DESIGN OF CORES
For core type transformer the cross-section may be rectangular, square or
stepped.
When circular coils are required for distribution and power transformers, the
square and stepped cores are used.
For shell type transformer the cross-section may be rectangular.
When rectangular cores are used the coils are also rectangular in shape.
The rectangular core is suitable for small and low voltage transformers.
page no. 14
In core type transformer with rectangular cores, the ratio of depth to width of
the core is 1.4 to 2.
In shell type transformers with rectangular cores the width of the central limb
is 2 to 3 times the depth of the core.
The figure shows the cross-section of transformer cores.
In square cores the diameter of the circumscribing circle is larger than the
diameter of stepped cores of same area of cross-section.
Thus when stepped cores are used the length of mean turn of winding is
reduced with consequent reduction in both cost of copper and copper loss.
However with larger number of steps a large number of different sizes of
laminations have to be used.
This results in higher labor charges for shearing and assembling different
types of laminations.
SQUARE CORES
Another useful ratio for the design of transformer core is core area factor.
It is the ratio of net core area and square of the circumscribing circle
The maximum core area for a given d is obtained when is maximum value.
Hence differentiate Agi with respect to and equate to zero to solve for
maximum value of .
From figure we get,
The two stepped core can be divided into three rectangles. The area of three
rectangles gives the gross core area. With reference to figure, we can write,
On substituting for a and b in above equation we get,
zero,
On differentiating equation with respect to we get, page no. 17
When =31 .72° the dimensions of the core (a & b) will give the maximum
area for core for a specified ‘ d’ .
On substituting the above values of a & b we get,
Let stacking factor, Sf =0.9
Net core-area, Ai = Stacking factor x Gross core area
= 0.9 x 0.6 18 d = 0.56 d
Another useful ratio for the design of transformer core is core area factor. It is
the ratio of net core area and square of the circumscribing circle
MULTI-STEPPED CORES page no. 18
We can prove that the area of circumscribing circle is more effectively utilized
by increasing the number of steps.
The most economical dimensions of various steps for a multi-stepped core can
be calculated as shown for cruciform (or two stepped) core. The results are
tabulated in table.
The next figure shows a vertical and horizontal cross-section of a shell type
single phase transformer.

COOLING OF TRANSFORMERS
The losses developed in the transformer cores and windings are converted into
thermal energy and cause heating of corresponding transformer parts.
The heat dissipation in transformer occurs by Conduction, Convection and
Radiation.
The paths of heat flow in transformer are the following
From internal most heated spots of a given part (of core or
winding) to their outer surface in contact with the oil.
From the outer surface of a transformer part to the oil that cools it.
From the oil to the walls of a cooler, eg. Wall of tank.
From the walls o the cooler to the cooling medium air or water.
page no. 23
In the path 1 mentioned above heat is transferred by conduction. In the path 2
and 3 mentioned above heat is transferred by convection of the oil. In path 4
the heat is dissipated by both convection and radiation.
The various methods of cooling transformers are
Air natural
Forced circulation of oil
Air blast
Oil forced-air natural
Oil natural
Oil forced-air forced
Oil natural-air forced
Oil forced-water forced
Oil natural-water forced
The choice of cooling method depends upon the size, type of application and
type of conditions obtaining at the site where the transformer in installed.
Air natural is used for transformers up to 1.5 MVA. Since cooling by air is not
so effective and proves insufficient for transformers of medium sizes, oil is
used as a coolant.
Oil is used for almost all transformers except for the transformers used for
special applications.
Both plain walled and corrugated walled tanks are used in oil cooled
transformer.
In oil natural-air forced method the oil circulating under natural head transfers
heat to tank walls. The air is blown through the hollow space to cool the
transformer.
In oil natural-water forced method, copper cooling coils are mounted above
the transformer core but below the surface of oil. Water is circulated through
the cooling coils to cool the transformer.
In oil forced-air natural method of cooling, oil is circulated through the
transformer with the help of a pump and cooled in a heat exchanger by natural
circulation of air.
page no. 24
In oil forced-air forced method, oil is cooled in external heat exchanger using
air blast produced by fans.
In oil forced-water forced method, heated oil is cooled in a water heat
exchanger. In this method pressure of oil is kept higher than that of water to
avoid leakage of oil.
Natural cooling is suitable up to 10 MVA. The forced oil and air circulation
are employed for transformers of capacities 3Q MVA and upwards.
The forced oil and water is used for transformers designed for power plants.
